Types of betting apps available to Australians

Given the present and future of mobile communication and browsing, Australian sports betting businesses are pouring a lot of money into upgrading their apps. Android and Apple apps are available for most of Australia’s biggest online betting companies, and their clients can access them both through mobile. However, there are two distinct sorts of applications that Australians may access via their devices:

Android Apps

Since the dawn of the smartphone, Android users have had access to betting apps; the Android operating system is used by various manufacturers, including some of the most prominent phone brands globally, such as Google, Samsung, and Sony. While you can download directly from the Google Play Store, fake apps have been known to sneak into the Play Store; thus, it is highly advisable to download directly from the source straight from the betting site. 

iOS Apps

The operating system that runs on Apple cell phones is iOS, and while imitation phones have appeared on the market, we’re only talking about Apple. The main difference between Apple and Android betting apps is that the apps are coded differently. 

Web apps

Whilst not a betting app, web apps are essentially the mobile version of an online betting site which allows you to add a bookmark of the site to the home screen of your phone; it will not have the same look and feel as the betting apps, however, typically the end result is the same in that you can check the markets, place your odds, and also deposit and withdraw money as you need, while Android and iOS apps are more user friendly, web apps are a handy little option if you are looking to save space on your phone. 

 

Live Streaming Australian Betting Apps

One of the best betting app features is live streaming without a shadow of a doubt. Apps that have the live streaming feature make it so incredibly easy for you to watch events online no matter where you are, so long as you have a signal, you can live stream from anywhere in the world.

 

Australian Betting App Payment Options

Australian bookmakers provide a wide range of payment choices, and their corresponding apps usually include the same deposit alternatives. In addition, credit and debit cards and payment processors like POLi are common ways to fund your betting accounts.

Some of the more common payment options for Online bookies in Australia are:

• Visa
• Mastercard
• POLi
• Bank Transfer
• BPAY
• Neteller

Betting Apps in Australia FAQs

 

Are Betting Apps Legal in Australia?

• Yes, it is. Australia has a fully controlled sports betting and racing sector. You may wager on your mobile devices using Android and iOS apps. Additionally, new betting sites pop up occasionally, so it is always best to come here to check out all the new betting sites for when apps become available.

Which Australian Betting App is Best?

• Several betting apps in Australia offer many features that other betting sites are missing. All betting apps vary in their features, odds and promotions. There is no actual ‘best betting app in Australia’; it comes down to what sport you like to place a wager on, what promotions are currently on offer and what you seek to get out of your time spent in the app. 

What’s the Best Horse Racing App in Australia?

• The best horse racing apps in Australia offer the best features specifically targeted towards horse racing; while some of these offer live streaming of the horse races, others provide excellent odds, bonus bets and sensational cash backs if your horse runs 2nd or 3rd. These sites include Rob Waterhouse, Sportsbet, Ladbrokes, Neds, TexBet. 

Which Betting Apps Have Live Streaming?

Is it Legal to use Australian Betting Apps Outside of Australia?
